Yes, veneers can absolutely be replaced if they chip, crack, or break. While porcelain veneers are known for their strength and durability, they’re not indestructible. Over time, daily wear and tear, habits like teeth grinding, or biting on hard foods can sometimes lead to minor damage. When that happens, your dentist can assess the veneer and determine whether it can be repaired or if a full replacement is the best option.
At 50th and France Dental Care, our dentists in Edina, MN takes a detailed, careful approach to restoring your smile. If your veneer only has a small chip, it may be possible to smooth and polish it for a quick cosmetic fix. However, if the damage affects the structure or appearance of the veneer, replacing it will ensure your smile looks seamless and natural again.
The process for replacing veneers is straightforward and similar to the original placement. Your dentist will remove the damaged veneer, take a precise impression, and bond a new custom-made veneer to your tooth. With proper care, your veneers can last. We recommend:
- Brushing at least twice daily
- Flossing at least once a day
- Avoiding habits like chewing on ice
